Abstract: In this study, utilizing air velocity by converting wind kinetic energy into mechanical energy due to the converging area, has been numerically studied by proposing a 3D novel model and using ANSYS Fluent 19 software. Solar radiation by using the radiation model (S2S) has been considered to benefit from the heat energy to be converted into kinetic energy of the flow. Ultimate dimensions were calculated for the proposed nozzle is made of glass material. The study concentrates on the utilization of solar nozzles and their effect on wind energy. This study focused on and attempted to increase the local wind velocity (1 m/s) in Kirkuk city in Iraq, to a higher velocity that could produce a large amount of kinetic energy which is then converted to generate power. Hence, increasing the efficiency of the plant. Results showed that wind velocity increases as the heat gain increases and the area decreased. The velocity at the converging position without including the solar radiation model reached about (15.1 m/s), while in the case of enabling the solar radiation, it showed a value of (15.75 m/s). As a result, the power produced from this proposed method has increased by a value of 74 W.
